premake GGD/CGD ?

harlanm Dec 17, 2004 06:22 PM

can i premake GGD/CGD and seal it in tupperware and then store it in the frige?
also, should i add any calcium to the mix or is it enriched enough for gravid females? i dont want to over suppliment.
my calcium supp. has no less than 38% and the GGD has no less than 1.8% i know that is per volume but is there a set amount recommended for egg laying females?
thanks a million

You can pre-mix it, but I'd only do about a week's worth at a time. Don't add anything to it. The percentages, like you acknowledged, are based on volume...the diet has food in it, whereas your supplement is only a supplement. That's why the percentages appear different.
